Dealers are trying to clear out 2013 models to make room for new vehicles. When it comes to these, you should help.

Chrysler's Ram got its last big update in 2009, but there were enough significant tweaks in last year's edition to keep loyalists happy for a good, long time. That's evident in the sales numbers, which are up 24% year to date. There's a little bit of a change coming to Ram land, though, that may make picking up a 1500 this year a better bet. Starting with the 2014 model, the base 1500 drops from a 3.6L V.6 with 305 horsepower to a slightly more efficient 3.0L V6 diesel with 250 horsepower. Granted, the torque jumps up a bit and helps with payload and towing capacity, but that's still a big switch for the purists. Their fear of change will save them more than $3,000.
